Interesting find. I wonder if the Ancient Egyptians saw those remains. I know Sumeria was not that far from that area.

5200-4500 BCE predates some of the earliest Sumerian civilizations, so this should be fascinating. Hopefully they'll be able to excavate this area soon.

Very Interesting. Should provide more insides into our own history.

I think that when the Egyptian got to the area they sais, "damn, someone got here first!!!"
